Abstract
AbstractRubber bearing has been widely applied in bridge engineering because of its simple structure. During use, rubber bearings are prone to cracking, aging and shear deformation, which need to be replaced in time. In this paper, a bearing replacement project of continuous curved bridge in Lin’an, Zhejiang, China is taken as a case, and the design scheme, construction technology and construction monitoring of the bridge bearing replacement without interrupting traffic were proposed. Finite element model of this bridge was established, the jacking force and jacking height of this bridge were determined through analysis, and a scheme was designed for the reinforcement of piers. The construction process and specific construction technical points was introduced in detail. In addition, to determine and control the absolute safety of the jacking process, the jacking force, box-girder displacement, and bridge stress were monitored. The results show that the finite element analysis can provide technical guidance for the design theory of bearing replacement. The bearing replacement design scheme, construction technology and construction monitoring adopted in this project were safe and feasible. The research content has important reference significance for solving similar bridge bearing replacement projects in the future.Keywords: Bearing replacementbridge jackingconstruction monitoringcontinuous curved bridgefinite element analysisreinforcement scheme AcknowledgementsThe authors acknowledge the financial support provided by scientific research projects of basic scientific research expenses in Heilongjiang Provincial Colleges and Universities (2022-KYYWF-1094, 2021-KYYWF-0033), Key research and development plan guidance project in Heilongjiang Province (GZ20220083), Key Laboratory of Functional Inorganic Material Chemistry Ministry of Education (Heilongjiang University), Heilongjiang Provincial Universities Central Support Local Universities Reform and Development Funding, and Key research and development plan guidance project in Heilongjiang Province.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
期刊介绍:
Structure and Infrastructure Engineering - Maintenance, Management, Life-Cycle Design and Performance is an international Journal dedicated to recent advances in maintenance, management and life-cycle performance of a wide range of infrastructures, such as: buildings, bridges, dams, railways, underground constructions, offshore platforms, pipelines, naval vessels, ocean structures, nuclear power plants, airplanes and other types of structures including aerospace and automotive structures.
The Journal presents research and developments on the most advanced technologies for analyzing, predicting and optimizing infrastructure performance. The main gaps to be filled are those between researchers and practitioners in maintenance, management and life-cycle performance of infrastructure systems, and those between professionals working on different types of infrastructures. To this end, the journal will provide a forum for a broad blend of scientific, technical and practical papers. The journal is endorsed by the International Association for Life-Cycle Civil Engineering ( IALCCE) and the International Association for Bridge Maintenance and Safety ( IABMAS).
